Tell me a fun fact about yourself.
I love convertibles. When I hit 50, I said,
"I'm gonna get myself a convertible."
So I did.
Do you think a lot about your age?
Who needs the limitations? I get on the
floor with my grandchildren. I ride them
on my shoulders. I bike a lot. Work out.
How's your osteoporosis?
Good. My
medication is working. It's easy to deal with.
I take care of myself. I wish more women
would take care of themselves. It's not hard.
Tell me more about your family?
I have
incredible children. One son, three daughters,
two are twins. I have a wonderful husband.
We're married 41 years. I'm emotional. He's
calm. My mom spends a lot of time with us
and we love it.
Have any heroes?
My dad.
What's your favorite piece of advice?
"Don't let your sorrows come to hurt you."
My father used to say that, but in Italian.
Any pet peeves?
When the person I'm talking to doesn't make eye contact with me.
Any vices?
A hot temper.
What's your favorite movie?
The Godfather.
Have you been to Italy?
Unfortunately no.
No?
I know. I know.
What kind of music do you like to listen to?
You'll laugh. Barry Manilow.
What's one of your earliest memories?
My parents. And sleigh riding in Central Park.
What would you like to master?
I'm good, -
but I'd love to be a great chef. No recipes,
no measurements.
Like Julia Child, with a glass of wine?
Yeah - Italian wine.
